KATHLEEN MARTINI Oller reporter martini.35@osu.edu Many Ohio State students have come to expect some amount of decay when they move into an off-campus house, so when Jared Malvic and his friends moved into a house on 12th Avenue last year, they weren’t surprised to find it needed some maintenance. But when the initial mold in the air conditioning units and dirt on the floor turned into service requests that needed to be placed multiple times to be filled, Malvic said he started to get annoyed. “My window’s broken,” said Malvic, a fourth-year in materials science and engineering. “It’s been like that a while, and it hasn’t been fixed.” Then the housemates found a stranger living in a room in their basement, unbeknownst to them, in September. Especially after that, they didn’t have many good things to say about their rental company, NorthSteppe Realty, said MJ Dorony, a fourth-year in journalism who lives in the house. “We’re not their biggest fans, no,” Dorony said.

Some OSU fraternities plan to spend millions of dollars on renovations to meet the new standards in order to house second-year students for the on-campus living requirement set to go into effect Fall Semester 2016.
Some Ohio State fraternities plan to spend millions of dollars making home improvements, like installing sprinkler systems, leading up to the on-campus living requirement set to go into effect Fall Semester 2016. Greek houses must meet a set of new standards, the Greek Housing Standard, in order to house second-year students, and the list includes rules banning alcohol in common areas, requiring there to be one desk per bedroom or dayroom and maintaining a live-in adviser. Not every chapter house will need to make changes to meet the standards and the program

ERIC SEGER Sports editor seger.25@osu.edu The Ohio State spirit squad has a new head coach — and he’s a former Buckeye. More than four months after former head cheerleading coach Lenee Buchman — who had been in the position since July 2009 — was terminated “for cause” following a sexual harassment investigation involving her assistant coaches and athletes, OSU announced Ben Schreiber as the squad’s new head coach in a press release Monday. Schreiber, who cheered at OSU from 2004-07, replaces interim coach Steve Chorba, who took over for Buchman Nov. 25, the day she was fired. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to my alma mater and be at the helm of the spirit program, specifically as the head cheerleading coach,” Schreiber said in a released statement. “I look forward to working with each student-athlete and helping them achieve their goals and dreams as I am blessed to live out my own.” Schreiber spent the past five years as the head cheerleading coach and fitness coordinator at the University of Delaware. Schreiber led the Blue Hens to the 2014 UCA Division I Large Coed National Championship, while the team finished as national runners-up from 2010-13, according to the release. He said he looks to establish that kind of success at OSU. “My desire is to continue to build on the traditions of the program and develop new, cutting-edge concepts to help distinguish this program from others,” Schreiber said. Schreiber is set to earn a base salary of $43,000, OSU spokesman Adam Widman told The Lantern in an email. Chorba earned $37,000 as interim head coach,

is voluntary, so every house might not participate, Student Life spokesman Dave Isaacs said in an email. “Right now we are setting up committees that will look at the best way to implement each of the standards,” Isaacs said. “Those committees will have students, alumni, faculty and staff as members and will be important as we move forward, especially as we look at the best way the university can support the process.” Isaacs said OSU has 65 sorority and fraternity chapters with a total of about 4,500 members. The chapters that decide to comply will be able to house second-year students after Fall Semester 2016 and participate in the Second-Year Transformational Experience Program.

NorthSteppe, which owns about 100 different dwellings in the OSU campus area, has accrued more than 220 housing violations since 2008, including more than 40 since January 2013 and at least five in 2014, according to a City of Columbus Code Enforcement log. Among those violations are cockroach infestations and excessive trash buildup. “Persons living here are dealing with rats,” reads one entry. “Persons have had to kill rats here and the landlord is not doing anything about it.” Other entries show no working smoke detectors in units, structural disrepair and graffiti on the outsides of occupied buildings. One resident in 2012 reported that a fire escape was unattached from the building, an owl was destroying the roof, there was a bug infestation and mold was growing on the ceiling — all in one house. Residents of the houses, passers-by who notice a problem or Community Crime Patrol have reported violations, according to the log. Any open orders made against a NorthSteppe property are investigated by Columbus Code Enforcement, but there have not been investigations into the company itself, said Dana Rose, Columbus Code Enforcement administrator.
“We’re going to be looking at all landlords with multiple properties in the next few months,” Rose said Feb. 24. “But we haven’t gotten to making a specific list yet.” The City of Columbus Code Enforcement Division aims to improve quality of life in Columbus areas by implementing and enforcing various city codes, including housing, health and safety codes, according to its website. NorthSteppe has made some changes to ensure the quality of its houses since a stranger was found to be living at the house on 12th Avenue, said Mike Stickney, broker of NorthSteppe Realty, in an email Jan. 13. “We have made policy changes,” Stickney said. “We are inspecting our properties on a quarterly basis for safety, security and cleanliness issues.” Stickney did not respond to emails requesting comment about housing violations. Slightly less than 40 percent of respondents to an OSU Undergraduate Student Government survey about off-campus landlords rated NorthSteppe a 3 out of 5, where 5 represented the best score. Roughly 25 percent of respondents gave NorthSteppe a 1, and

Decision to remain at OSU tough for some REGINA BONFIGLIO Lantern reporter bonfiglio.20@osu.edu Though some Ohio State officials insist the university’s 93 percent freshmen retention rate shows OSU is doing something right, the decision of whether to return wasn’t easy for some students. Karli Shill is one such student. She transferred to OSU from Chapman University in California for Spring Semester 2013, but wasn’t happy with her decision. “I really was just a body amongst 60,000 others,” said Shill decided to transfer back to Chapman for Fall Semester 2013 and is now a third-year in sociology there. Shill, whose parents live in the Columbus area, said after paying out-of-state tuition during her first year of college at Chapman, her parents had faced financial difficulties. “I realized that in order to make it easier on my family, I should transfer to Ohio State because I would receive in-state tuition and have to take out much fewer student loans,” she said. But although Shill attempted to join student organizations, she said her position as a transfer student made it hard to find her niche. “I never really felt like I found my place on the campus,” she said. Shill’s situation might be familiar to those who make up the 7 percent of students that leave OSU, Provost and Executive Vice President Joseph Steinmetz said. “It’s not the case that they’re students that drop out of college. A fair majority of that 7 percent go on and transfer to other schools,” he said in an interview with The Lantern April 1. “I think that’s a big win (that of) 7 percent that don’t stay, they’re at least continuing on their education somewhere.” And although some students end up leaving OSU, the university is working to boost its firstyear retention rate from 93 percent to 95 percent in upcoming years. In order to reach this goal, Dolan Evanovich, the vice president for strategic enrollment planning,

Joanna Twist, a second-year in biochemistry from West Virginia, said she thought about transferring her first year because of a tough workload as an engineering major in the Fundamentals of Engineering Honors program. “It was extremely difficult and I would be in the computer lab as early as 5 a.m. and wouldn’t get back to my dorm from studying until midnight,” Twist said. “I had never been so stressed in my life and I really wanted to go back home where I could de-stress and be reunited with all of my friends.”

campus About 1/3 of cost raised for $30M Veterinary Medical Center expansion ALEX DrUMMEr Lantern reporter drummer.18@osu.edu The Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center is planning to start a $30 million facelift later this year, but has only raised one-third of the estimated cost. The Veterinary Medical Center wants to renovate and add on to its current small animal hospital and hopes to break ground by the end of the year, said Melissa Weber, spokeswoman for the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Veterinary Medical Center is “one of the largest veterinary hospitals in the country and is the only comprehensive referral veterinary hospital in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia,” according to its website. “We’ve had an 80 percent increase in small animal cases in the past six years,” Weber said. More than 18,500 pets receive care at the Hospital for Companion Animals each year, according to its website. Weber said along with the increased business, the building was constructed more than 40 years ago and needs a renovation. “While it doesn’t sound extremely old, so much has changed between the technology — just the
capabilities of all the medical technology. I mean, back then there weren’t even computers,” Weber said. The center has been planning the project for six years but didn’t start sooner “because there’s no state support for the renovation,” Weber said, so the project will be funded by donations. The center has raised $8.5 million so far, and it started fundraising about two years ago, Weber said. The project includes an addition that will be used for faculty offices, which will likely be constructed first, and the current faculty office area will be gutted and turned into a new lobby, additional exam rooms and surgery suites, Weber said. The new addition, as well as an enlarged intensive care unit, is slated to cost $18 million. The new lobby and exam rooms are expected to cost $4 million, specialty treatment rooms $4 million and surgical suites another $4 million, Weber said. Mellissa Hicks, a fourth-year graduate student studying comparative and veterinary medicine and president of the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine Graduate Student Association, said she was pleased to hear of the project. “This is a wonderful expansion to the college, which will provide a wonderful new space in the hospital,” she said.

Students react to Ohio’s shifting same-sex marriage laws QiNG DAi Lantern reporter dai.133@osu.edu
ShELBY LUM / Photo editor
Participants march in the Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival, June 22 on high Street.
Though Ohio still won’t allow same-sex couples to legally marry on state soil any time soon, it will soon be required to acknowledge certificates from other states. A federal judge announced Friday he will rule against Ohio’s ban on recognizing same-sex spouses who were married in other states on the basis that it is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Timothy Black said in a statement he plans to release his written decision and order by Monday. Some Ohio State students said it could be a significant move toward marriage equality, even though the state has not voted to allow same-sex couples to wed in Ohio. Linchi Liang, a fourth-year in communication who identifies as gay, said he was happy to hear about the judge’s ruling. “I expect to see more (similar rulings) in the
country,” he said. “Ohio is still (a) considerably conservative state.” Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman changed his stance on gay marriage, becoming the first GOP senator to openly support it last year, and last month a poll for The Columbus Dispatch showed that 54 percent of Ohioans would support an amendment that would repeal the state’s ban on gay marriage. While advocates with FreedomOhio have talked about getting an amendment on the November ballot, the group, which aims to bring marriage equality to the Buckeye State, plans to hold its petition “in a state of readiness for filing” while gathering signatures on a new petition with revised language, according to its website. Black’s ruling is the most recent in a string of legal decisions that give same-sex couples more rights. The Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and enabled the federal government to deny benefits to same-sex couples who were considered legally married in the states they resided in, was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in June. Some of the benefits same-sex couples saw as a
result of the Supreme Court decision include entitlement to file tax returns jointly, Social Security survivor benefits and the right to be informed if a spouse is killed in action. As a future law student, Liang said he has a passion for working toward marriage equality. “I witnessed a great movement of marriage equality and I believe in the future, I will keep fighting for equality,” Liang said. Other OSU students said, though, the ruling might not have a huge impact on same-sex marriage in Ohio. “Actually, in (the) short term I don’t think it is going to change much (of) anything,” said Zachary Thomas, a fourth-year graduate student in statistics. Same-sex marriage is legal in 18 states, including Washington, D.C., and prohibited in 33. Divya Mahadevan, a fourth-year in engineering re-exploring, said she doesn’t think there should be restrictions on marriage. “To me, it doesn’t really matter. Marriage is just basically a commitment to each other, and if it recognized, it is good,” she said. “It is great that Ohio (is) finally recognizing it.”

while Buchman earned $43,003 after receiving a raise Aug. 23. After becoming the spirit coordinator at Delaware in 2011, Schreiber expanded the cheer program by adding an all-female team, according to the release. In that role, he also oversaw the cheer and dance programs and took on marketing responsibilities for the athletics and recreation services department. “Ben has all the qualities we were looking for in our next head coach,” Martin Jarmond, OSU executive associate athletics director for administration and the cheer program’s administrator, said in the release. “His experience and success as a head coach and his passion for Ohio State and developing student-athletes holistically make him a perfect fit to lead our spirit program.” Widman said aside from hiring Schreiber, decisions on what the rest of the cheer staff will look like — including whether or not Chorba is to be retained — are forthcoming. “Our spirit squad coaches do not have employment contracts and no staff decisions have been made at this point,” Widman wrote in the email. Schreiber’s predecessor, Chorba, was appointed to interim head coach from assistant cheerleading coach after Buchman was found to have demonstrated a lack of “leadership and courage” by OSU Director of Athletics and Vice President Gene Smith while she was coach of the squad. In an email obtained by The Lantern, Smith told Buchman she was terminated for “several serious lapses of judgment and leadership.” An October report by the OSU Office of Human Resources found those lapses occurred after former cheerleader Cody Ellis’ attorney said he was kicked off the team by Buchman for reporting he was sexually harassed by two former coaches, Dana Bumbrey and Eddie Hollins. Bumbrey and Hollins were terminated in May following an OSU investigation, which found “sufficient evidence” both had violated the school’s Sexual Harassment Policy. That policy defines sexual harassment as “unwelcome sexual advances” and “requests for sexual favors,” among other things. Although he was terminated in May, Bumbrey hosted a cheer camp in August that Buchman took her
NorthSteppe from 1A an average overall performance ranking of 2.5 placed NorthSteppe below the 20 other landlords included, according to the USG 2013-14 Renter’s Guide. Some of NorthSteppe’s houses feature stainless steel kitchen appliances and other amenities, but their quality remains comparable to other houses in the university area, said Hannah Ortega, a third-year in speech and hearing science and Spanish who subleased a townhouse from NorthSteppe for three months last summer. “The apartment was kind of dirty, but that’s pretty standard,” Ortega said. “I’ve lived in other places (through other landlords) and been to friends’ apartments, and they’re never really nice. I’ve just kind of come to expect that.”
Fraternities from 1A STEP is a co-curricular component of the requirement for second-year students to live on campus that sets up students with faculty mentors in various groups. It will likely not be mandatory for students. Casey Leech, a fourth-year in economics and president of Kappa Sigma’s Alpha Sigma chapter at OSU, said the no alcohol policy is definitely the biggest change for his chapter. “Not allowing alcohol in common areas is going to force people out of (the fraternity) house and push them toward annex houses,” Leech said. “IFC already monitors parties to make sure everything is safe when sororities go to fraternity houses to drink, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way things are currently working.” Leech said he expects other changes will need to be made to Kappa Sigma’s chapter house in order to comply with the STEP program, including adding centralized heating and cooling and adding a sprinkler system. The biggest change culturally, Leech said, is that they will need to have a live-in adviser. “During the renovation process, the live-in adviser requirement will be added into our funds because we will build a nice bedroom and bathroom for them to make sure they’re living comfortably,” Leech said. Leech estimated the renovations at the Kappa Sigma house to cost anywhere from $1 million to $5 million. “Fraternity Management Group is an outside firm that’s going to help us with the renovations,” Leech said.

Hicks said the expansion is important because it will help attract new students, as well as clients. “The new client waiting room will also help to increase the number of clients (the center) can see and make them feel more comfortable,” she said.

The OSU athletic department named Ben Schreiber as the school’s spirit squad head coach April 7. team to participate in — more than two months after he was let go. “Though I know that the camp was not run by Ohio State, you took our students and brand there with you,” Smith said in the email to Buchman. “All the while, you knew the nature of the behavior Mr. Bumbrey had been engaged in, that Ohio State dismissed him just a few months earlier and that the university had emphatically chosen to disassociate itself from him and his damaging behavior.” The report also found that even though Hollins showed up uninvited to a practice Sept. 9, Buchman did not tell him to leave. “When an assistant that had been fired for sexual harassment shows up at a team practice, it is obvious what is expected of a head coach,” Smith wrote in the email. In an interview with The Lantern Jan. 29, Smith did not offer any further explanation for the investigation or events that transpired after it when asked. “I’m not going to get into a personnel issue,” Smith said. “It was a personnel issue, there are legal issues around it, so I’m not discussing it.”
Ortega echoed Malvic’s complaints, saying NorthSteppe never responded to her request to put in an air conditioning unit at the beginning of the summer. The roommates on 12th Avenue have not taken legal action against NorthSteppe after finding the stranger in their basement, and Dorony said they don’t plan to pursue anything in the future. “If something occurs, like we get screwed over with the security deposit, which shouldn’t happen, I think we may go back to it,” Dorony said. “But as of now, nothing’s going on.” Malvic said the state of one’s house can take its toll on every aspect of life. “I’m taking engineering classes, I’m involved in some clubs, and now I have this new house that is having all these problems,” he said. “It’s just really stressful.”
Fraternity Management Group works with Greek chapters on professional assistance needs, according to its website. Leech said Kappa Sigma plans on participating in STEP once the new requirements take effect, which he thinks will make the fraternity house look more appealing to potential members. “If a freshman chooses us and we have the STEP program implemented and other chapters don’t, we will have a huge advantage,” Leech said. Robby Mulvey, a third-year in biomedical engineering and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon’s Omicron chapter at OSU, said it will be a significant financial burden for his chapter to meet the new live-in standards. “The biggest thing for us is that the new standards require chapter houses to have a sprinkler system, so we’re guessing that’s going to be the biggest cost,” Mulvey said. According to the Fire Sprinkler Initiative website, the cost of installing a home sprinkler system is about $1.35 per sprinklered square foot. The Tau Kappa Epsilon house is 8,581 square feet, according to the Find the Best commercial properties website, so the total cost could come to more than $11,584. Mulvey said he has no ballpark guess of how much the renovations will cost and that his chapter is currently discussing whether they plan to participate once the requirements take effect. “We need to get a more sound number value of how much we are going to need to spend because it might be out of our budget,” Mulvey said.
other vet schools during my application process, the other hospitals attached to the schools were much more modern in appearance than OSU’s, so a renovation would be great to keep pace with the other schools in the country,” he said. Weber also noted the importance of the project for the facility and the students. “It’s definitely important for student learning and teaching because it’s such cramped space right now. We need the opportunity to improve it for both our faculty, staff and student learning,” she said.

campus OSU’s lost and found a largely unknown campus asset EMiLY hiTChCOCk Lantern reporter hitchcock.47@osu.edu Ohio State’s lost and found might be a hidden treasure itself. Dan Allen, a third-year in history, found a pair of glasses March 6 and wasn’t sure where to turn them in, so he turned to social media to try and reunite them with their owner. “I know what it’s like to lose something, so I posted a picture of the lost glasses in every single Ohio State Facebook group that I’m a member of, hoping to contact someone,” Allen said. “I’ve been able to return a wallet to someone that way already this year.” Allen had no idea OSU had a lost and found and said many other OSU students are also probably in the dark as well. “I would like to think that people try their hardest to get lost items back to the person who owns them, but as far as glasses or graphing calculators that don’t have identification on them, I don’t know what would happen to those if people don’t know there’s a lost and found,” Allen said. Facilities Operations and Development’s lost and found is located at 035 McCracken Power Plant at 2003 Millikin Road.

and found’s staff uses “Find People,” an OSU student, staff and faculty directory, if the item is labeled, and works with the Registrar’s Office to find ways to contact or locate the people whose property it has received. Komlanc said approximately 30 percent of items turned in to the lost and found are returned to their owners, but she did not have exact numbers about how many items are turned in. “Keep in mind that in addition to our faculty, staff and students, there is a large population of visitors on campus every day, so we don’t always have the opportunity to be able to find people not associated with the university,” Komlanc said. The lost and found keeps items for 90 days and then donates them to various university departments and OSU nonprofit organizations, according to the OSU lost and found website. “Books are donated to the Friends of the Library program, prescription glasses are donated the Student Volunteers for Optometric Service to Humanity program,” Komlanc said. “Calculators are donated to the math and chemistry departments for tutoring, everything else is donated to Buckeye Bargains.” Buckeye Bargains is an OSU thrift shop, located at 54 Converse Hall in 2121 Tuttle Park Place. Keith Stock, a fourth-year in communication who has lost things around campus before, said he did not know an official university lost and found existed.
“I once lost a hoodie and a pair of sunglasses so I went to all the classrooms where I had been that day and then went to all the lobbies of those classroom buildings,” Stock said. “(People) checked their baskets they had for lost items but no one ever told me about this main lost and found area to go to.” Stock said he does not think many students or student workers know about the OSU lost and found. “If the lost and found had a social media outreach page and more people knew about it, it would be a much more effective tool,” Stock said. Allen said he, too, thinks the lack of awareness about the lost and found is a problem. “Social media is the most effective way to return lost items to people that I’ve found on a campus this large,” Allen said. “If more people knew that there was a lost and found, then that would definitely be the most efficient way because you could just go to a centralized location.” Allen said he plans to turn in the glasses he found to the OSU lost and found now that he knows about it. “There are all of these OSU Facebook groups, I think that (the lost and found) should have their own group,” Allen said. “Even if you turn something in and they (whoever lost it) don’t know to go there to look after 90 days, it just gets donated.”
hate to leave now that I am so involved in these amazing opportunities,” she said. But students like Nathan Dean, a first-year in international studies, remained at OSU for different reasons. Dean, a member of Army ROTC, said his dream had always been to go to West Point Academy. Although he said he has often considered transferring to West Point and always wanted the more structured environment that a military school typically aims to provide, OSU has allowed him to create his own structure.
“(By choosing ROTC) I can still become an officer in the military after college,” he said. In addition, he said OSU’s size and community has challenged him to become more socially engaged. “I wasn’t really good at the social aspects of things. Being immersed in a big school has really has helped,” he said. Although Dean said OSU was not his first choice and he has not ruled out transferring in the future, he plans to remain at least a second year.

“Over time, my opinions have kind of changed. I like OSU a lot more now,” he said. “There’s plenty of opportunities here, there’s a lot of people to talk to and a lot of things that I want to do.” For Steinmetz, OSU’s 93 percent first-year retention rate reflects that, like Dean, the majority of students are making connections and seeking out opportunities. “The students that are coming here are finding what they want,” Steinmetz said. “It can always get better, but we’re doing pretty well.”

MADELINE POEDTKE Lantern reporter poedtke.2@osu.edu
Fashion and music are set to mesh together in festival form this summer. The first annual Fashion Meets Music Festival is slated to take place at several venues across Columbus’ Arena District Aug. 29-31. The festival is scheduled to showcase 250 musical acts on seven indoor and outdoor stages, in addition to two fashion stages, an urban campground and a “fashion and music marketplace,” according to a February press release. Bret Adams, Columbus-based lawyer, sports/ entertainment agent and the festival’s co-founder, said the idea originated in 2013 while he was on a tour bus with New Hollow, a local rock band he represents. The group was driving back to Columbus from the annual South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, when the idea of a Columbus festival emerged. “We actually did the research on the bus ride on the way back and determined that we really didn’t have any competition at that time of the year — we didn’t have any competition regionally,” Adams said. Upon his return to Columbus, Adams said he visited with representatives from the City of Columbus, the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, Huntington Park, Nationwide Arena and Nationwide Realty Investors to discuss the possibility of partnerships. “Everybody thought that it was a great idea and then it occurred to me that we needed a differentiator between all other festivals in the country,” Adams said. After further research, Adams said he realized that music and fashion have never been “fused” in a festival setting and determined that Columbus would be the ideal location. “It was only natural because of the fashion industry that’s headquartered here in Columbus — not only with L Brands and (Abercrombie & Fitch) — but you also have recognized design programs at CCAD (Columbus College of Art and Design) and Ohio State,” Adams said. Adams said he has been working alongside PromoWest Productions president and founder Scott

Rooney remembered for ‘impressive career’ ELIZABETH TZAGOURNIS Lantern reporter tzagournis.24@osu.edu After nine decades acting in film, television and onstage, Mickey Rooney has died. The Hollywood legend passed away Sunday of natural causes, according to reports. Rooney will be remembered for an impressive career in the arts as well as notable life achievements. His long list of awards include an Emmy, two Golden Globes, an honorary Oscar and a Juvenile Academy Award, among many others. Rooney really did become a household name, with both people of this generation and past generations enjoying his work. Rooney really set a precedent for Hollywood performers for generations to come. His role in the many different films, musicals and shows led to spinoffs and additional roles for other actors to fill. He first appeared onstage with his parents in their vaudeville act at the age of just 1, according to The Los Angeles Times. At the age of 6, he performed as a nephew in the silent comedy short “Not to Be Trusted.” Rooney was actually the last living star to appear in silent films, according to The Boston Globe. He is perhaps best known for his role as Andy Hardy in the 1937 film, “A Family Affair,” which introduced America to the beloved character and led to a film series, according to IMDb. The “Andy Hardy” character to me represents a quintessential part of American cinematic history. Hardy was the all-American boy the country seemed to claim as their own. But Rooney was not limited to just this role; he also characterized comic strip character

Mickey McGuire in nearly 50 comedy shorts, according to The Washington Post. I sometimes think of all the work and achievements in the lives of Hollywood’s best and brightest and cannot fathom how, in 1934, a kid at the age of 14 could appear in 11 films the same year he also shot several Mickey McGuire comedy shorts, according to IMDb. I’m almost 20 and just trying to pass college. Rooney has been said to have had a personality similar to his beloved character Andy Hardy in that he never gives up. “I always say, ‘Don’t retire — inspire,’” Rooney said in a March 2008 interview with the Associated Press. “There’s a lot to be done.” This undying enthusiasm and spirit is what will live on in the hearts of many of Rooney’s fans and admirers. Although his cinematic fame was widespread, he was also infamous for his personal life, which included marrying eight times and filing for bankruptcy, according to “Variety” magazine. Rooney’s notoriety that stemmed from the divorces and inner-family disputes are not what he should be remembered by. His talent in the arts and his never-ending ambition are what should really resonate with his fans. He died a natural death while surrounded by his family at his home in North Hollywood, Calif., according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. Unfortunately, Rooney’s wife Jan Chamberlin, to whom he had been married since 1978, told The Hollywood Reporter she had not seen her husband in roughly a year and found out about his passing via the Internet.

Russell Crowe as Noah in ‘Noah,’ which released nationwide March 28.
HAYDEN GROVE Asst. sports director at BuckeyeTV grove.157@osu.edu At my childhood home in Florida, above the many yearbooks and mementos I’ve collected over the years, there’s an object that holds a place very near and dear to my heart. As a young boy, I had an unabashed love and appreciation for animals of all shapes and kinds. I grew up playing with plastic figurines in the shapes of my favorite feathered and furry friends and even wished to become a veterinarian to help nurse my beloved creatures back to health. Upon discovering my intense love for fauna, my grandfather — a carpenter for many years — took to his workshop to start on a very special project. With his bare, calloused and weathered hands, my grandfather crafted together a tremendous treasure — a wooden version of Noah’s Ark, complete with giraffes, elephants, bears and lions, all of which came — as the story goes — “two-by-two.” Admittedly, my passion for animals subsided rather quickly as I grew older, but through the years, my love for Noah’s Ark remained, and when I heard of the cinematic version of this biblical tale, I couldn’t help but think back to my beautiful ark. My mind wandered to the times when I would sit on the floor of my bedroom for hours upon hours, retelling the story of Noah with the wooden figurines my grandfather had crafted so meticulously. I’d line the wooden animals up in order (elephants first, of course), set them perfectly into their stalls and pretend as if my carpet was the flood as Noah sailed the endless sea. Amidst all my nostalgia, I had to go see this movie. Going into the movie, I was nervous for two reasons. First, I was scared that “Noah” was going to stray far, far away from the biblical story I came to know and love. Second, I feared that people wouldn’t understand the context of the story and would immediately start off in a deep contextual hole that they would never climb out of. Well, the second of my fears was eliminated almost immediately. For those unfamiliar with the tale of Noah’s Ark, the beginning of this movie is perfect because the scene is set quickly and accurately. It starts with the story of Adam and Eve, runs straight through Cain and Abel and eventually settles in on the beginnings of Noah. It was the perfect introduction to the film as it informed those who might not have had a clue, but also reminded those who knew the context of the little details we might have forgotten. Following the flawless start, however, my first set of fears grew considerably. Without giving too much away, there is an interesting set of characters who certainly do not play such a strong role in the biblical setting of this story. I wasn’t necessarily heartbroken that this so obviously deviated from the original plot, but I wasn’t quite thrilled either. That all being said, the
Unbeknowst to me, my understanding of the story of Noah’s Ark was moldy as I walked into the theater, but as I emerged from the darkness, I had a clean appreciation for what ‘Noah’ is truly about. rest of the movie was absolutely tremendous, but way more deep and emotional than I could have ever imagined. As I prefaced, I grew up loving the story of Noah’s Ark and still love it to this day, but my vantage point has changed considerably since I first took a deep look into the story itself. I’ll put it this way: when you read the story of Noah in the Bible as a child, it comes off much more “happy-go-lucky.” Noah was visited by God, who told him to build an ark to protect his family and the animals of the world. It sounds rather positive, and for the majority of the film, it certainly was. As the film marched on, however, it became increasingly clear how little I actually thought about the consequences of Noah’s various actions. As I said before, my youthful vantage point only gave me a cursory understanding of this story. There are some very deep, powerful and emotional situations in this tale, and I guess that’s not at all what I was expecting. Sure, as it’s Hollywood, I was expecting the battles. I was expecting some dramatic moments. I was expecting blood, gore and violence, be they necessary or not. What I didn’t expect was how deep into my being this movie would dive and how real this story would become. For instance, there is a deep battle between good and evil throughout. There are legitimately deep questions of destiny versus free will. There are moments when you believe Noah to be the evil character rather than the hero. None of these things even so much as entered my mind as I drove to the theater and privately prognosticated what this movie would be. If anything, I thought the only conflict would be a very literal battle between good and evil that would come to an obvious conclusion. To give you a sense of the emotional roller coaster, I didn’t expect to be welling with tears in a movie about Noah’s Ark, but it happened. Overall, “Noah” was an absolutely fantastic film. Although I might be a bit biased, as I had a relationship with the story itself prior to the screening, the movie was everything I wanted it to be and more. I pictured the film in a more religious context, but director Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan,” “Requiem for a Dream”) didn’t seem like he wanted to alienate any audience, and I enjoyed it just the same. Was Aronofsky clearly avoiding any obvious

[ a+e ] Breanna’s Guide to College Fashion Colored skinnies, solid headbands help wardrobe go back to basics BREANNA SOROKA For The Lantern soroka.15@osu.edu Quite a few of my previous fashion columns have given ideas for putting together outfits, but those are useless if you don’t have versatile pieces that can be transformed into whatever look you’re going for. Some of these are basic pieces, and others are standouts that really help pull an ensemble together. Read on for my spring must-haves to double your closet’s outfit capabilities. Colored skinnies Whether you only want to invest in a basic color, like olive, or are willing to stock up on the entire rainbow, these are an important staple for any closet. Not only do they perfectly transcend the awkward period between day and nightwear, but they’re also perfect for both casual and more formal outfits. While oxblood and forest green were popular winter colors, brighten up your wardrobe with a springier selection of pale pink or a muted mint. Black slip-ons Trade in those plastic flip flops for a pair of black canvas sneakers to make any outfit instantly look
more put together. Black goes with absolutely everything, so there’s no chance of wearing a mismatched outfit with these. If you want to invest in a pair of TOMS or Keds, go for it, but nameless sneakers from Target or Forever 21 work just as well. A button-up blouse One of these in a sheer fabric easily takes you from cooler to warmer temperatures without a problem. Though a solid color is easier to incorporate into outfits, printed blouses can easily add more personality to whatever you’re wearing. These are often available in a variety of sleeve lengths, but my top pick is long-sleeved — not only can you leave the sleeves down for a more formal vibe, but you can just as easily roll them up to give off a laid-back feel as well. You also have the option to leave the entire blouse unbuttoned and use it as a cardigan. This is easily one of my favorite pieces to wear, and I can’t wait to buy more. Solid headbands Some days you just don’t feel like messing with tangled locks , and headbands are the perfect remedy that make that messy bun on top of your head look a smidge more intentional.
Quite a few of my fashion columns have given ideas for putting together outfits, but those are useless if you don’t have versatile pieces that can be transformed into whatever look you’re going for. You can make your own with folded bandanas , purchase head-wraps to tie on or slide on a simple sporty band in less than five minutes and call it a day. This is especially useful as the days get hotter — you’ll be able to keep your hair off of the back of your neck and out of your face to stay as cool as you possibly can. Adding these essential pieces to your wardrobe — or investing in more if you already have a collection started — can make assembling an outfit so much easier and a lot less timeconsuming. You shouldn’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations, but on less adventurous days you now have an easy fallback with these classics.
Noah from 5A religious notions? Yes. Was it bothersome? Not in the least. “Noah” is a film for everyone, as it has just about everything you could really ask for: drama, romance, history, violence and deep, thought-provoking questions of the existence of mankind. Upon my exit from the 2 1/2 hour emotional roller coaster that was “Noah,” I called my mother to ask about my ark. As I reminded my mom of its existence, a big smile sprawled across her face (yes, we use FaceTime) as she remembered the vast amounts of time I spent lying upon my carpet with wooden animals in hand. She then said something in passing that I thought was incredibly relatable to my relationship to both “Noah” and the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. “I hope it’s not moldy,” she said, “maybe I should go clean it up.” Unbeknownst to me, my understanding of the story of Noah’s Ark was moldy as I walked into the theater, but as I emerged from the darkness, I had a clean appreciation for what “Noah” is truly about.

as a music and fashion capital, much like Austin has been branded with music and technology,” Adams said. In addition to musical performances and fashion showcases, Adams said there will be additional activities to set the experience of the FMMF apart. “This is a true festival with a 100-foot Ferris wheel, zip lines down Nationwide Boulevard and a 22-acre campground,” he said. “There’s not a festival in the country that has an actual urban campground. We’re going to have 3,000 campers inside of (Interstate) 670 and a five-minute walk from the venues,” Adams said. The festival announced its initial artist lineup last month, which so far consists of 40 bands and seven designers and fashion brands. These bands are set to perform at the festival’s free outdoor stages and include Cold War Kids, Circa Survive, Switchfoot and New Found Glory. “You really can come down and enjoy the festival and see that kind of entertainment without paying a cover, without having to buy a ticket for those shows,” said Melissa Dickson, communications director for FMMF. Dickson said the overall reaction to the initial artist announcement was positive. More announcements are yet to come for the After Party Badges, where attendees can go to various bars in downtown Columbus to see smaller, showcase music sessions — a format similar to that of South by Southwest, Dickson said. “The next round of announcements will definitely be gearing up for our After-Party Badges. We have 10 to 12 bars in the Short North and the Arena District that will be our partners throughout the weekend of this festival,” she said. Dickson said these participating bars will host different bands throughout the night, and people who purchase After-Party Badges for $35 will have free access to every bar for all three days of the festival. “It’s an amazing value, and that’s really where we feel our sweet spot is with our college student population,” she said. While a portion of the festival’s music and fashion events will be free, tickets to additional events range from $10 to $200 and are available through Ticketmaster.

Effort of Reeves becoming ‘the standard’ for OSU DBs daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu It was Bradley Roby and Doran Grant. Heading into last football season, the cornerback position at Ohio State had been decided — there were no ifs, ands or buts about it. Then-redshirtjunior Roby had earned his spot the season before and then-junior Grant was tapped to replace Travis Howard in the lineup. But on July 21, a wrench was thrown into that plan. With Roby facing charges of misdemeanor battery in Monroe County, Ind., someone had to step up and take his place in the starting lineup as he served his one-game suspension from coach Urban Meyer. That player was Armani Reeves. The then-sophomore cornerback made his first career start against Buffalo Aug. 31 in a 40-20 win. Although Reeves didn’t see much of the field for much of the remainder of the season — he was forced to watch from the bench behind Roby in the depth chart — he heads into the 2014 season, alongside Grant, as one of the two expected starters at corner. “I feel ready,” Reeves said Thursday. “I feel confident. I think that’s half the battle when you’re corner, just know that you can do the jobs … I’m going to play with confidence and I know I can do this job, so I’m not worried at all.” Starting three games last season — against Buffalo, San Diego State Sept. 7 and Clemson in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl Jan. 3 — Reeves recorded 16 solo tackles last season and had an interception. Reeves returns to a unit that lost Roby as well as safeties Christian Bryant and C.J. Barnett, a unit that finished the year ranked 112th in the country in pass defense. But Reeves said he feels he has fit into the starting line well, and knows his teammates have confidence in him to replace Roby. “I feel like they see a good side of me. I try to be a nice person so that helps,” Reeves said. “We’re all working really hard, and when you have confidence in each other that just makes a defense that much better … When I have confidence in the D-line and they have confidence in me, that makes it so much easier to do your job.” Reeves added that poor numbers from last season will serve as a drive to improve for the Buckeyes in the upcoming season. “I wouldn’t say it hurts, I would say it motivates us,” Reeves said. “Obviously everybody knows the pass defense last year, it had its ups and downs. This year we’ve got a fresh start and we’re going to come out hungry. Only thing that can do is to motivate you to play better than you did last year.” Cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said Reeves will be successful because he works harder than anybody else on the field, going as far as to say Reeves “became the standard.”
Kaily Cunningham / Multimedia editor
Then-sophomore cornerback Armani Reeves prepares for a play during a game against Florida A&M Sept. 21 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 76-0. “Anybody that’s watched him play … You never have a question about how hard he’s going to go,” Coombs said. “So he’s already got that, and what a great thing for him. Right? So when I walk into my meeting room and I say, ‘OK, who’s the hardest playing guy in this room?’ Day one, that’s what I asked my guys in my unit, and they all said ‘Armani.’” Like many of the other players, Reeves is having to make the transition from a member of the younger group to a seasoned veteran who has more responsibility on his shoulders this year. In years past, Reeves said Roby was the person he always
looked to, but now he has to teach some of the lessons the NFL-bound cornerback taught him. “It’s definitely weird because I looked up to him (Roby), he’s like my older brother … It’s kind of weird not having him here anymore, but I take the things that he taught me and put it to the younger guys and do the same thing that he did (for) me,” Reeves said. “There (were) times where we’ll be out here, just talking football, just trying to get me better and that’s what I try to do with the young guys … He’s one of the greatest DBs we’ve ever had here, and obviously I want the young guys and myself to be one of the greatest when we leave.” Grant, who started all 14 games last season, said Reeves is prepared to take that next step and be a go-to starter for the Buckeyes. “I feel like he’s ready. He’s been playing well this spring,” Grant said Thursday. “He’s been working hard in the offseason, training, taking coaching. He’s leading also, his voice is up, passing the energy … And he has the experience also.” Even though Reeves is likely to be the starter opposite Grant, there is no guarantee he will see as much of the field as starters have in the past. With young players like redshirt-freshmen Eli Apple and Gareon Conley, as well as incoming freshmen Damon Webb and Marshon Lattimore, Coombs said he plans on playing more than just two corners. “We’re going to play more than two, Gareon is right in the mix, Eli Apple has had a very good spring,” Coombs said Thursday. “He’s over some health issues that really had gone undetected. So I’m really excited about that and I’m eager. And I tell you what, those two freshmen coming in are going to have a chance to play. We’re going to play more than two corners that’s for sure.” Although Reeves will likely be on the field when the season starts Aug. 30 against Navy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, he isn’t likely to be truly tested in that game. The Midshipmen were one of only two teams in the country who averaged less than 100 yards per game through the air last season, finishing 124th in the country. But Reeves said when it comes to next season, as long as the effort is there, the defense will be up to standards. “We’ll get there,” Reeves said. “It’s a process. We just put a lot of new things in and we’ll get there. I’m not worried about it at all. As long as we play hard right now, that’s all we can ask for.” Kickoff for the season opener is set for noon.
2014 World Cup figures majorly into Klinsmann’s legacy for USMNT Sports columnist
Jurgen Klinsmann has fared well as the United States men’s soccer team coach in his first three years, setting records including a 12-match win streak. The coach now has something to prove in his first FIFA World Cup with the team. The U.S. men’s national team has not advanced farther than the semifinals in the world’s largest soccer tournament, but that was in 1930 when the there were only 13 teams, compared to the modern 32. Eran Hami The best result since then was in hami.2@osu.edu 2002, when the U.S. bowed out in the quarterfinals losing to Germany, 1-0. Bruce Arena lead that 2002 squad, a coach with a long tenured career including an appearance for the U.S. National Team, coaching several college programs, and coaching three Major League Soccer teams — he is currently the coach of the Los Angeles Galaxy. He has two league titles with the Galaxy. Klinsmann’s experience equals that of Arena’s — and arguably surpasses it. Klinsmann had an extensive playing career on the field. He most notably played with clubs such as Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Inter Milan. His national team career has him tied for third for most goals scored for West Germany/Germany with 47. Although young, his coaching career is still impressive, coaching Bayern Munich and
leading the German national team to a third place finish in the 2006 World Cup. Proving himself and his abilities, Klinsmann expects to take the U.S. to new heights in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil this summer. He is surely one of the most experienced to take the reins of this team, much more than his predecessors Bob Bradley or Arena. In an interview Oct. 15 before the last World Cup qualifying match against Panama, Klinsmann explained the difference between coaching Germany and the U.S. “In Germany it is a bit more simple because there is only one expectation … We say we want to win this thing,” Klinsmann said. “For us in the U.S., it is a growing process. We can surprise people in Brazil, (but) obviously our expectation is to get out of the group no matter who we draw. After that, we need to make the players understand it is all about mind games. Every game becomes 50-50 and will be won by the team who is better prepared and believes in themselves more.” Before the World Cup draw Dec. 6, many would at least expect a return to the quarterfinals for the U.S. Now, with opponents Germany, Portugal and Ghana — currently ranked No. 2, No. 4 and No. 35 in the world, respectively, by FIFA compared to the U.S., who is ranked No. 14 — some are expecting the Americans not to make it out of group play. But have faith American Outlaws. With a revamped young squad including the addition of German phenomenon Julian Green and an experienced coach (who also might have the inside scoop on the German squad), I expect a U.S. return to the quarterfinals. Will Klinsmann’s national team success be a one-and-done? A defining moment in Klinsmann’s coaching career lives and dies in Brazil this summer.

Vannett thriving at OSU spring practice in injured Heuerman’s absence daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu A tight end has to be an offensive lineman who can catch like a receiver. Or is it a wide receiver who can block like one of the big uglies? Often, players who play the tight end position exhibit a little of both sets of skills needed to succeed and excel in one area, but the Ohio State football team might just have two players who excel at it all. “I’ll take our two tight ends (senior Jeff Heuerman and redshirt-junior Nick Vannett) over anyone in America,” coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday at a fundraiser luncheon. Heuerman is the starter at tight end, but he’s currently out for the remainder of spring practice after having foot surgery. Vannett said the two tight ends have always pushed each other to improve, and now, with Heuerman gone, he is trying to keep that trend up and potentially win the starting spot. “Over the years, we always pushed each other to be great, challenge each other in practice,” Vannett said. “It kind of hurts not having him out here, but someone’s got to step up. I kind of took the challenge upon myself to go out and get better.” Meyer said he has noticed the improvement in Vannett, who only recorded eight catches and a touchdown last season, calling him “one of the two or three most improved players on the team.” Tight ends coach Tim Hinton said he has seen Vannett play well in the spring, especially in the absence of Heuerman.

Then-redshirt-sophomore tight end Nick Vannett (81) advances the ball during a game against Purdue Nov. 2 at Ross-Ade Stadium. OSU won, 56-0. “Nick’s had a phenomenal spring so far, and obviously getting a few more reps (now) that Jeff’s a little nicked up,” Hinton said April 3. “Each of those reps are opportunities to get better and improve … He was able to make a lot of plays today and he’s more physical at the point of attack in blocking. He’s doing a great job of managing the X’s and O’s. Boy, he’s having a great spring.” The Buckeyes are returning one of the nation’s top offenses from 2013, after finishing seventh in the
country with an average of 511.9 yards per game. But with a lot of turnover, losing six starters including wide receiver Corey “Philly” Brown and running back Carlos Hyde, the Buckeyes will be looking for new players to step up. That’s where the tight ends come in, Vannett said. “We’re still finding our identity right now,” Vannett said. “When you lose guys like ‘Philly’ Brown and Jordan Hall and Carlos Hyde, it’s hard to replace
those guys. But me and Jeff, we’re trying to step up and be that key, that go-to guy. Before he got hurt I thought we were doing a really good job and we’ve just got to keep pushing it.” With this being his fourth season in the program, Vannett said he has realized the time to become a leader and grow as a player is now. “Being a junior, it’s time to mature,” Vannett said. “You’ve got to watch a little more film, you’ve got to understand defenses better and I’ve got two more years after this so if I don’t do it now, when am I going to do it? Just really taking it as a serious job and just going out there and doing what I’ve got to do, helping others out and doing what I have to, to be successful.” If Vannett wants to prove his worth and increase his playing time in 2014, whether it be as the lone tight end or in a two tight end set, his time in spring without Heuerman is running out. Spring practice concludes Thursday, with the annual spring game taking place at noon Saturday at Ohio Stadium. But he was quick to add that although Heuerman is gone for the time being, he has to grow on his own to reach his lofty goals. “Most of it’s just internal for me. I want the best for myself,” Vannett said. “I’m a competitive person and my goals are, I want to be the best tight end that goes through Ohio State and that’s just the pride I have in myself. Every time I come out on the field, I want to get better at one area of my game and also just help out the offense.” The regular seasons kicks off Aug. 30 at noon against Navy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
